In the wee hours this morning when I should have been sleeping, I decided to do an experiment with my next seeding: I will plant several different types of seeds, using 4 different methods.
Control group: planted in the typical fashion. Pre moistened Pro-mix, seeds planted dry, and tended in usual manner.
The following groups will be planted in same manner as control group after they have been soaked.
Group #1. Pre soak x 2 - 3 hours in Epsom salt solution @ 2 TBSP/qt. H2O.
Group #2. Pre soak x 2 - 3 hours in H2O2@ 2 TBSP per qt. H2O.
Group #3. Scarify and pre soak in Epsom salt solution. This will only be done with peppers.
Group #4. Scarify and pre soak in H2O2 solution. This will only be done with peppers.
After sprouting, all plants will be treated in my usual grow out fashion.
